The Pearl Export Custom ECX series was one of the last to be made in Taiwan before Pearl switched most of their production to mainland China. This 5.5" x 14" snare drum is in like-new condition. The 6 ply maple shell is finished in Lava Red lacquer and is unmarked. The chrome finish to lugs and hoops is fine. The snare throw works great with the original Pearl snare wires. Top head is an almost new Aquarian Response 2 in reasonable condition. The bottom head is the Pearl original. This is a great looking and sounding drum!
